West Ham go for Chelsea striker Demba Ba

The Mirror says West Ham have launched a bid to bring Chelsea's Demba Ba back to Upton Park on loan.

The east Londoners have made their move for the striker because new Blues manager Jose Mourinho is chasing Napoli goal-machine Edinson Cavani and will not loan out Romelu Lukaku, impressive in his year at West Brom, for next season.
